Description
Spicy, Cheesy, and Crowd-Approved Buffalo Chicken Taquitos.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie works great)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup Buffalo wing sauce (Frank’s RedHot recommended)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend
- ¼ cup ranch or blue cheese dressing
- 10–12 small (6-inch) flour tortillas
- 2 green onions, finely chopped (optional)
- Cooking spray or 2 tbsp melted butter
- Extra ranch or blue cheese dressing
- Celery and carrot sticks
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix cream cheese, Buffalo sauce, and ranch or blue cheese dressing until smooth. Stir in shredded cheese and green onions.
- Fold in shredded chicken until evenly coated. Taste and adjust heat if needed.
- Warm tortillas in the microwave between damp paper towels for 20–30 seconds. Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of filling in a line near the bottom of each tortilla. Roll tightly and place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
- Brush with melted butter or spray lightly with cooking spray. Bake for 15–18 minutes, until crisp and golden.
- Let cool for 5 minutes before serving—filling will be hot!
Notes
- Serve with extra ranch or blue cheese dressing.
- Pair with celery and carrot sticks for a complete snack.
